Festival Wrap-up!

Thanks to our sponsors, the management and staff at SilverCity for their support and cooperation, Cineplex, the Film Circuit, Festival Coordinator Catherine Powell, our stalwart volunteers, the folks at Rainbow Printers, the UPS Store, FedEx, and Greyhound, and most of all to our loyal patrons for their great support!

Thanks to those passionate movie-goers who disregarded the horrible weather to support the double-bill of Julieta and It’s Only the End of the World April 27th. We were not immune to the dreadful ice storm that provided its share of challenges. NOSFA had to inveigle the support of Logan MacDonald of the Film Circuit and Olivier Gauthier-Mercier, head of Elevation Pictures, to secure a digital download for The Salesman Saturday night when the digital drive failed to arrive in time for its screening. There was also the fun of frantically securing an access code from Deluxe literally minutes before the screening of Swiss Army Man.

A cakewalk, these film festivals!

Ultimately, our best attended and well-received titles included: Queen of Katwe, Moonlight, Last Cab to Darwin, A Man Called Ove, 20th Century Women, The Eagle Huntress, Burn Your Maps and The Salesman.

It’s been real adventure over the past 25 years. Patrons are invited to check out the NOSFA website to review the roughly 700 titles that have been screened over the decades and the attendant dramatic highlights.

It is a privilege and pleasure to occupy our modest niche in the cultural community of Thunder Bay.

Thanks to members of the NOSFA board whose skills, experience and determination have resulted in a successful 25th season.

To our loyal patrons, have a safe and happy summer.
See you in September!
